[Buffalo-pm] February 21st Meeting - Topics Needed!

[DANIEL MAGNUSZEWSKI]

I'd agree. Let's come up with a couple of "Perl Discussion Topics" for
the next meeting then - and who will lead the discussion. 

I believe that this is what you were talking about:

2) Could we do a beginner topic each session? Spend maybe 30 minutes  
on it. Info for beginners and others can chime in on other ways to do 

it, etc. Also, we can rotate who covers the info.

3) Ideas for summer sessions:

* PerlMonks overview;
* More on GUI programming with Perl;
* Conference summaries for YAPC and OSCON;
* Perl 6;
* Cool modules;
* Good coding practices with Perl;
* How to write a Perl module;
* Installing Perl on Unixy systems and on Windows;
* Installing Perl modules;
* Testing;

I think a few of these have already been discussed (mainly dealing with
the module stuff). I think doing something on Perl Best Practices would
be good.

If anyone sees something here (or in their head) that would be a good
5, 10, or 15 minute topic, then let me know.

I think an hour is OK for a presentation. If you add some Q & A and 
general Perl topics, that should fill up the meeting.

We could save lightning talks for another month.

A while ago, I think I threw out a tentative standing agenda that had 
some time for general perl questions, etc. that can fill probably 1/2
an 
hour.

Might be in the list archives somewhere...
